One of my favorite features in Windows is the ability to press -1 to switch to the leftmost window in the "Window buttons", -2 to go to the 2nd one, and so on, as opposed to alt-tabbing through everything.

I remember reading that I could assign a script to a key combination to switch to a specifiy window title, but I'd like to be able to switch based on its position in the taskbar.

(Also I think Unity can do this, but I'd really rather stick with XFCE)

  • I haven't used windows in 10 years, are you talking about something like work spaces? Or something more like what alt-tab does? I'm sure its a key-binding issue. Are you referring to a specific task list? – j0h Mar 11 '15 at 03:45
  • Kind of like alt-tab, but you skip to the n-th window by pressing Super-n, based on their order in the taskbar. – Dmiters Mar 11 '15 at 03:56
  • Ill give it some thought. what does $echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP say? – j0h Mar 11 '15 at 04:03
